COMPLIMENTARY MERIT SCREEN
Two slots per month
Before you retain anyone, find out whether the communication, cognitive-communication, or swallowing issue in your case is real and provable.
What it is:
- A 20-minute conversation with a licensed forensic speech-language pathologist
- A candid read on whether the clinical issue is supportable, marginal, or absent
- Direction on what records or evaluations would strengthen the file
What it is not:
- Not a written product. No memo, letter, or report is produced.
- Not a retention. No opinion is formed and no expert relationship is created.
- Not a substitute for record review. This is a directional conversation only.
A conflict check is completed before any substantive discussion of the matter.
Merit screens are limited to two per month and are scheduled on a first-come basis.
